The score is irrelevant - could you amend your post please?

Have you checked whether you are close enough to SWBGS by looking at allocation distances?

You can put anything you want on your CAF :D

As far as likelihood of getting SWBGS last year they went quite far - previous years not so. Distances in sticky at top.

I think Langkey to Marlow is quite a track - would you really want to do that for 5 years?

I would also recommend putting a school you know you'll definitely get on your form (your catchment comp maybe) as I notice you e out only selective schools, some of which your ooc on your form.

Have you looked at previous allocations? If your DD passed Slough surely she will get one of the Slough schools anyway, so SWBGS will be irrelevant?
